  3. The weather forecast for next week is looking pretty good.

    I've been wanting to do some UV imaging of Venus with my 16" telescope. Looks like I may get that chance!  :kirin:

      Are colleges switching to online where you are? Most here have extended spring break and are planning to go online for the remainder of the year. I hear ya on the workload part. I didn't have much free time in college. Hopefully you'll be able to balance it out.  :kindness:

      Things are going ok here. It's a bit strange tho since my work shut down because of corona virus. I've been using the available free time to get some stuff done at my rural property.

    3. RaraLover

      RaraLover

      Yeah, all my classes and lecture are online now. :Rara: I don't think my break has changed length-wise though. It has just been pushed back by one week (because this week is not counted and there are no classes running at all, which is good for me anyways since I'll have more time to go on the forums). :adorkable: But I do hear schools in my area are starting their holidays as well. Things are going wacky with the corona virus stuff going on. :wacko: Stay safe out there!

      Glad to hear you're making the most of your free time! :yay: I hope things are going well at your property! ^_^

      You too, RaraLover!

      It feels kinda weird not having to go in to work tomorrow morning.  :ooh:

  7. I've been saying this for a long time. Copper door handles would make a huge difference in schools and hospitals.

    Additionally, UV-C germicidal lamps installed in the HVAC systems would also help.

      Does copper kill germs?

    2. Phosphor

      Phosphor

      Yep, along with brass and bronze. 

      Best part is, bacteria and viruses can't mutate or become resistant to copper since their DNA/RNA is destroyed.

      So these old building with copper handles got it right!

  8. Got those trees and blueberry bushes planted at the new property. Now I just need to bring my mower over there and cut the grass next week. 

    How's everypony doing this evening?  :fluttershy:

      I'm glad to hear that, my friend! :mlp_yeehaa: Good luck with the mowing! :kindness:

      I’m glad that things are working out with the new property. Soon, you and Twilight will have blueberries for your pancakes. :twi: 
      I’m doing alright, watching some Netflix before bed. How are you doing?

      @Twilight Luna: In a word, sore  :orly:

      Definitely going to bed early tonight.

  9. The clouds cleared out earlier this evening, so I was able to image Venus. I miss this hobby so much! 

    You can really see the cloud details in the UV image. They're also present in the violet image, but much fainter. Last pic is the telescope I used. Enjoy!  :grin:

      It's always fascinating to see new pictures from you, espicially the space-related ones. Keep up the great work! :mlp_smile:

  10. Got some work done around the house today. Dug up 9 of my evergreen trees so I can transplant them at my other property. Also went to the local nursery and bought some blueberry bushes. :fluttershy:

    Had I known at the time, that I was gonna move, I wouldn't have planted so many trees here.  ^_^

      @Super Splashee Unfortunately that’s only on drive up. I work the front line where we have thin air separating us from the members.

      @Ultraviolet Phosphor I’ll settle for some vodka.

      @Stone Cold Steve Tuna I chose a bad time to give up booze for lent. :kirin:

      @CypherHoof I don't mind my commute to work now that a lot less people are driving. I'll be at the office until they decide to shut it down, but I won't know for sure.

      @Yoshi89 I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

      @Lucky Charms, the pic is a bit overexposed, since I used a phone camera. ^_^

      It's a UV-C light bulb, but it also puts out some blue and green light. Also generates ozone gas, so I don't leave it on very long when shooting pics with it. 

  15. UV-C phosphors!  :sunbutt:
